True to this day. This kind of service can still be seen at a major
political convention, car race, etc.
What it's even better than the product support are the loaners they
provide during an event. You can try out a lens under working conditions
without having to pop for a 400 f2.8, 14mm F2.8, or some such exotic beast.
Besides, real men have to feed families, they go with what you can earn
a living with.
